IT seems that Frencbmen are going
down the same alcoholic slope which
has been exciting so much alarm in
Switzerland, in Belgium, in the Scan
dinavian countries, in England, in
Germany and in the United States. In
other words, the French are frightened
by the rapid growth of drunkenness in
France, and there seems to be a gen.
eral agreement that something must be
done to arrest it.-N. Y. EUening Post.

Comfortable Shelter That May Be Pro-
yided at Small Expense.
1t is indispensable that comforta-
BILE building be provided, if eggs are
wanted, especially during the extreme
cold weather, when they bring the
highest price and appear to be more
desirable as an article of food than at
any other time of year. This house
need not be expensive. Posts of 4 by
scantling, OF ordinary round poles
from the woods; stills same size, and
boards of any rough, cheap lumber but
reasonably straight. Front, feet
high; rear, 6 feet, and from s feet to
II feet wide; 10 feet makes a very good
width, and of any length desired; al
lowing II feet of length for every fifty
fowls kept, unless they are to be con
fined much of the time, then greater
space must be used. Batten the cracks
well and put on good roof; for what
ever saving may be made at other
places, the top must he absolutely
waterproof if you would have good
healthy fowls. The ventilation should
be from the bottom instead of the top;
this is very important especially in cold
weather; / made q mistake in my
own house and wish to give others
the benefit of my experience. Let
the ventilator, a tube OF inches
square, extend to within IS inches OF
2 feet OF the floor and the top when it
passes through the roof OF side, near
the top, be carefully protected to pre-
vent snow or rain coming in; then fill
in with earth, clay is best, about feet
deep, to raise the fowls above any
dampness that may work in, and the
floor is complete. Let the door be in
the end and plenty of windows in the
highest side, which should be toward
the south, if possible. The roosts may
be made of 2x2 stuff with the corners
off, OF of common round poles of near
ly the same size, raised not more than
IS inches above the floor; two rows of
these on the lower side, and both of
the same height, or there will be
trouble among your poultry every
night. Put the nests on the opposite
side. Clean out the house semi-occa-
sionally, at least, and make the occu-
pants comfortable. A building Of the
above pattern may be constructed for
so and on most farms for half this
sum. But if you want to be extra nice,
spend $3.50 for roll of tarred paper
and line the building, especially on the
north and east sides; this will make
the room more comfortable and be a
great help in keeping the place free
from vermin. / had no yermin in my

CARVING POULTRY.
How 1t Can Be Accomplished Without
Once Removing the Fork.

OHc0 AAOhotinS tAS EOTh'
An expert carver can divide poultry
without removing the fork from the
breast bone OF turning the bird on the
dish, but beginner will do well to
have small fork at hand for the pur-
pose of laying cut portions aside as
the carving progresses. Turn the
bird SO that the carving fork can be
held in the left hand and firmly fixed
in the breastbone, and use very
sharp knife with small flexible blade.
First cut off both drum-sticks at the
knee joint, and then remove the
second joints. With q tender bird
this is not difficult matter; but both
strength and skill are needed to cope
successfully with a tough or under
done turkey, because very strong
sinews are plentiful about the leg
joints. Next cut off the first joints of
the wings and the pinions, and then
the joints nearest the body. This
method of cutting off the first joints of
the legs and wings before separating
them from the body saves that trouble
some feat of holding those members
while they are being disjointed. Ere
quently they slip about the platter and
spatter the dish gravy.
After the wings are removed cut off
the merry thought or wishbone, and
then the wing side bones which holds
the breast to the backbone; then carve
the breast in medium thin slices. and
serve the bird, giving gravy and sttfng
on each plate. If the diners are numer-
Gus may be necessary to cut off more
of the flesh, and even to dismember the
carcass; this can be done with more or
less ease as the carver understands the
anatomy of the bird. If carver
would study the location of the joints
while carving, and take the trouble to
crt up several carcasses by striking
the points where the bones are Joined
together, subsequent carving would be
easy. The joints of all birds are sim
ilarly placed, so nearly identical in
point of junction that one is guide to
all others. Hdrper'S Bazaar.

UncIean Milking Places.

In hot weather, whenever there is
fermenting and decaying matter, the
atmosphere is reeking with foul gases,
bacteria and the spores of all sorts of
microscopic fungoid growths. These
are inhaled by the cows and get into
the contents of the pail, if the milking
is done in such an atmosphere. The
air in most stables and barnyards is
loaded with these germs of decay and
disease. They also emanate from slop-
holes around the dairy house, the
kitchen door, and from the pig-pen
and chicken coops from all masses of
souring and putrefying matter-and
they float to whatever spot the winds
drift to. All such places can not be
too scrupulously avoided, nor can dry
earth, land plaster, etc., be too freely
used to keep down all foul smells.
Every dairyman should have an acute
smell, nice sense Of cleanliness and a
feeling of responsibility for the perfec-
ton and wholesomeness of the prod
ucts which he turns out. -RuraI New

the two feet fairly flew up the stairs
again and an upper door closed en-
pha,ically just as the hall one opened
to let tall man dash out and almost
pitch in the middle of an excited
crowd, that was gathered on the side

as it trying to collect himself and then
tried to work his way out of the mass;
but n hand suddenly clutched his col
lar and its owner cried:
r. "Here he is! I've caught the rascal!
Come police and take him."
The man turned Indignantly, and
tried to throw off his captor, but the
grip was like iron, and before he could
lift his arm to strike at him police
man appeared and he was given over

tried to explain to the officer, but a

Mr.. Lawrence Garnet and his pretty
wife, Annie, sat at the dinner table in
their coy rooms a week after the
